We’ve reached the final matchdays of the Clausura 2026, and in the meantime, Las Águilas remain in the fight to qualify for the tournament’s liguilla.
But beyond qualifying for the liguilla, the team is also chasing a spot in the 2027 Concachampions, a tournament for which four of the six Liga MX clubs have already qualified: Toluca, Cruz Azul, Chivas, and Tigres.
How do teams qualify for the Concacaf Champions Cup?
There are three ways to earn a spot in Concachampions. The first is by reaching the tournament final; Toluca and Tigres secured their spots by reaching the last final, and it remains to be seen who will do so in this Clausura 2026.
The second is through the overall table, which combines the Apertura and Clausura 2026 standings, and the two highest-ranked teams (not counting those who already earned a spot by reaching the final) qualify directly. Chivas and Cruz Azul claimed those places.
And the third is through the Leagues Cup, where the top three finishers earn a spot; these are in addition to the six teams qualified from Liga MX.
What does América need to qualify?
Club América still has a chance to qualify through all three of the methods mentioned above:
As we can see, there are several opportunities for Las Azulcremas to secure their place in the next 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup.
